Hi everyone,
First to begin, sorry for my frenglish.
My lovely G3 seems to be bricked since few days.
5 days ago, after a reboot, it stucked 30 sec on the moving LG logo screen and turned off. I tried to enter into TWRP, I had the TWRP menu but it suddenly shut off again. My battery was getting old , so I bought a new one ( a Polarcell).
Now I can't even get TWRP. When I switch on, I have sometimes LG logo five sec, sometimes just a black screen.
If I connect on USB, the device is not recognised (error 43).
If I try the download mode, I have the first screen with "download" written in very small and after a few seconds: black screen and device not recognised.
I installed LG drivers, Qualcomm driver... nothing much...
I'm kind of desperate, can't affort to buy a new mobile phone.
If someone has any advice... many thanks
Fred
I entered again into TWRP... but maybe 10 secondes after the screen shut off....

Same thing happened to me, remove your battery wait 5 minutes, try again, it will last longer, also could you try flashing your latest stock rom with LGUP and report back? Mine doesn't bootloop only on latest stock.
Thanks, but the G3 was without battery during 2 hours.... I wonder how I will be able to flash anything :-/

You can try unbricking like this. Try to enter to bootloader mode without dealing with shorting the pins first, if you can make it enter into bootloader mode, you don't need to the short pins.
Thanks for the link, I had already read that but it's not very very clear. By te way, I think I 'll have to do the short pin because my G3 is not recognised as a Qualcomm, and USB keeps connecting disconnecting whend the screen is black.

Hey,
my phone is not turning on,not entering recovery mode, not entering download mode, not entering the hard reset mode, not recognised by the PC and not charging.
2 months ago i reached my phone and he had "black screen". took the battery out,turned the device on and he got black screen again. took the battery out again but it back in and turned on the device again, entered the menu and it got stuck. took the battery out and in,turned the device on and it happened again.
I wanted to reach the settings menu to restore the phone but couldnt get to it because the phone froze. so i decided to perform a hard reset.
I did this, the screen was black for 10 minutes (could see it is turned on), the the android logo was on the screen with a loading bar,and then the screen went off. waited another 15 minutes and tried to turn it on,and it did not respond.
what can i do to make it work?
Did you make any software modifications to it prior to the problem occuring

I had the same problem, with black screen, but mine showed LG logo bootloop, tried everything, without success, I send it to a service, waited almost two months, they said dead mmc and replaced motherboard under warranty. Hope you will resolve this...
The phone is showing black screen after i flashed exitrecovery.zip file since i got stuck into a recovery bootloop and right after when i pressed reboot button in twrp phone died. Have i got the phone hard bricked?? :crying:
What i have tried so far is pressing various keys combination and nothing is happening, tried to get into download mode but right after putting the usb cable connected with pc into phone it gives a notification sound but doesn't shows anything on phone screen :crying:
I also tried to flash the stock rom with lg flash tool 2014 with kdz file but it reaches to a point in the beginning and it gives an error message that the "phone isnt connected pull out the cable and retry" and after pressing retry few times it gets stuck at 60%
Please help, is there a way to get out of this :crying:
When something similar happened to my Galaxy S4, I charged it to 100% first. Then I tried flashing the stock image back to it twice. The first time did not seem as if it completed. Second time was the charm. I know the phones are different but the symptoms are identical.

ok let me try it out, please stay in touch?
Hi all,
Before someone says it, yes I did look around for other threads before posting one of my own. I was not able to find the problem that I am having, nor a working solution.
I am currently running CM12.1 on a Sprint G3 (LS990). This morning, I woke up and found that my phone had frozen while charging overnight. No problem, this has happened before, so I unplugged it and pulled the battery out and rebooted. It was working fine, and then I noticed an update for CM. I hit download, and went to go brush my teeth. When I came back, I saw that it had frozen mid-download. Now it wasn't installing anything; the CM built in updater was just downloading the latest nightly. I waited 5 minutes for it to become responsive, but it never happened so I pulled the battery once again.
Now when I held the power button to start my phone, I saw the LG splash screen as normal. After that, the screen went dark and the LED began blinking red and blue. No matter how many times I pulled the battery to reset my phone, this would occur. I attempted to enter Recovery mode, but in this case after the splash screen the LED would briefly light up blue, and then the phone would reboot, and the cycle would repeat. The same would occur when I tried to boot into download mode.
So now that I cannot boot into anything at all, I assume that my phone is bricked. It is still covered under the limited manufacturer warranty, and since I can't boot up at all I assume it doesn't matter that it is rooted, but before I contact LG I would like to see if anyone here has any ideas.
Before sending it back, have you tried to use the KDZ tool to restore it?

That requires the phone to be in Download mode, and it won't enter Download mode, so I have not tried that.
Well, this happened to me after I flashed TWRP from Flashify on my LG G3 D855 in the day before yesterday and I just had to take the battery out and put it back in, and then I had to boot into download mode. Since you can't even boot into download mode, I'm almost sure the phone is bricked

You HAVE to flash your phone if it was rooted or bump'd, otherwise, it won't be under warrenty, even if it don't boot, they're not stupid..
Every post have: "Your warranty is now void." in it for a reason.
Hello everyone
So about a week ago I restarted my phone and all of the sudden after the Verizon logo appeared it shut down on me. I didn't know what was wrong so I went into TWRP recovery to erase the internal memory and start from scratch but that didn't work either. After the Verizon logo pops up it'll shut down. I can't restart it without taking out the battery. I tried to go into download mode and install the original software but that didn't work either. It'll go into download mode but then again it shuts off. The phone shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in the drivers and not LG. I'm guessing it's soft bricked but since it keeps shutting down after boot I have no idea what to do.
Hey Any solution yet? I've had a crap ton of problems with my G3 and just today, it froze, shut down and won't tun on without removing and re-inserting the battery...but the thing is after it the lg logo pops up for about 8 seconds, it shuts down. I can't even get into recovery mode.

Late reply but I can't connect to either wifi or data. The phone literally gets to the verizon screen then shuts off. I tried to reinstall the firmware but that doesn't even work since the phone can't stay booted for longer than 10 seconds. It won't show up in my computer.
Change the battery buy a new one guys
I have exactly the same problem. I had my LG G3 for over a year, sometimes it shut off after heavy use but yesterday it just started shutting off during boot, it won't pass the LG logo screen.
I tried putting 2 other perfectly working batteries (tested with other phone) and it didn't work.
Now it simply won't turn on completely!
we have to take it to LG about this, I didn't expect to have a high-end phone die just after the warranty expires just like that!
if anyone has a solution or a possible cause to this problem I would highly appreciate it.
Hi
So I woke up this morning and my G4 was roasting hot and on the battery percentage screen (turned off). When I try to turn it on, sometimes it will freeze and reboot straight away and get stuck on the LG logo. Sometimes it will boot into Android and run for a few minutes and then the same issue again.
Can boot into TWRP but again, sometimes it freezes and reboots, other times, wont get past the TWRP logo.
I'm just waiting for it to cool down completely but is my phone completely broken?
Thanks all
Be prepared for ILAPO. Refer to appropriate threads. No need to create new one.
